Chelsea great John Terry has paid tribute to the club's Italian influence.

JT was speaking with Sky Italia.

“I owe everything to Claudio Ranieri," he said.

"Everyone loves his human qualities. He immediately believed in me," the ex-defender said.

“Vialli, Zola and Di Matteo changed the club's culture. Carlo Ancelotti has been one of the most receptive coaches I've ever had and I loved working under Antonio Conte. He got me in shape, no carbonated drinks and ketchup."

Terry is now working with Chelsea's young players as an advisor.
